IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE¶
In the Matter of the Application of the United States Of America for a Search and Seizure Warrant for the Premises Known and Described as¶
Case No. 1:20-¶
Filed Under Seal – Level II¶
MOTION TO SEAL AT LEVEL II: ENTIRE MATTER¶
RELATED TO APPLICATION FOR A SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT¶
In the above captioned case, the United States of America respectfully moves to seal at Level II the entire matter related to the Application for a Search and Seizure Warrant, including the application, the supporting affidavit, any search warrant that may issue, the resulting return, this motion, and the corresponding docket text entries for 180 days, expiring on December 31, 2020, except that the government may later disclose these materials to comply with its discovery obligations under the local rules.¶
Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1(d) and Local Rule 83.12(a)(1), the Court has authority to grant this motion.¶
The Court should seal these documents because they contain sensitive information, which, if prematurely released, may compromise an ongoing criminal investigation. Specifically, the application contains information identifying the target of the investigation. Investigators believe that this target may be unaware of the incriminating evidence investigators have gathered against her. Should information identifying that target and the evidence against her be released, it may cause her to flee, destroy evidence, or change her patterns of behavior.¶
